Description

Apotheker is a story-driven logic puzzle game where you must learn the delicate art of potion-brewing through thoughtful use of ingredients, tools, and funds. Use your resources in the most efficient way possible to maximize your profits for every potion - alternatively, what exactly would happen if you gave fermented slugs and cigarette ashes to help soothe a baby? Science is all about experimentation, after all!



Add ingredients to your cauldron to change the effects of your creation. One may never be enough - every addition comes with unintended effects that must be balanced. But remember, the more you add, the more unstable your mixture becomes!



Use the tools at your disposal to modify your ingredients to better suit your needs. Sure, you could just add that mighty banana, but wouldn't it be more useful if you fermented it, diluted it, or blended it to draw out it's power? Each ingredient can offer endless possibilities, so be sure to get your money's worth!



As your popularity grows, you'll see many new faces come into your shop, all of which having different intentions for your potions - will you sympathize with the downtrodden, or brew for the highest bidder? Who will you support when violence is tearing the city apart? Will you keep your head down, or stand up for what's right?

          This is a seriously fun little game. The game is majorly cozy core with its soothing music and cute potion shop setting. On top of that, any game that lets you add ingredients like broken glass and cigarette ashes to potions has got to be great, right?

          My only complaint really is how fast I beat the game. It took all of two hours on one save. I would have liked for it to be a bit longer.

          4 out of 5 stars.
